I'm pretty sure by now most everyone here has heard this song where the singer is going over a list of things that as an adult they'd love to see happen... example:

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself but for a world in need..

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list...



Sounds like a pretty good list to me. It got me thinking... what are a few things I'd like to see happen ..or in other words what would be on my "Grown up Christmas list "?

1. I'd love to see some of my lost loved ones (family and friends) saved.
2. I'd love to see some of my loved ones treated more appreciated by their spouses .
3. I'd love to see my friends that have prayed for a spouse, find themselves in a happy loving relationship.
4. I'd love to accomplish some goals that have been on my list a few years.
5. I want a pug ..lol


So, whats on your grown up Christmas list?

"I want a pug..lol" Pugs are nice, but beagles are better. :)

Probably the first item is the most important, after all its why we even have Christmas, because we are given a Saviour.

This is a wish list I've been keeping
These are the things my heart's been seeking
I'm bringing my wish list to You
Knowing You'll make these wishes come true

I'd like to have more self control
Patience and honesty
Wish I could travel this narrow road
And not stumble so easily

I want to trust You when I cannot see
I want to put my faith in what I believe, Lord

This is a wish list I've been keeping
These are the things my heart's been seeking
I'm bringing my wish list to You
Knowing You'll make these wishes come true

I wish I didn't take for granted
The gifts that You've given me
Wish I could treasure each moment
Before it's only a memory
I want to be unselfish
In every thing I do
I wanna see a little less of me
And be a little more like You, Lord

Did you send your list to Santa

why are you making a list again?

lol

When I make lists I cross items off one by one when they are achieved and then recycle it, and the. print out or write another another updated list.

It never ends...the lists. But its often down to me to work with God to make it all happen. People say petitions dont work, but there is evidence when presented with a long list of names that God knows each and every one on it. (half the OT is a long list of names)

also tip keep you lists short and manageable. Maybe just stick to under ten items if you can. Its quicker.

write down the names of who you want saved, cos I would go petitioning God for just SOME of my friends to be saved and be really vague about it. I would go,

To save-

Bobbie-Jo
Pippa
Lynx
Krumbeard
Jennymae
NarrowPath

just as an example

*Lynx goes off to check with God about any recent policy changes.

I know, I know, you said just as an example. It was still fun to say that though.

Well, I am a weirdo, known to be affectionate, though not a dancer --- not that I'm completely closed to changing that. Although, I am also 20 years your senior. Yuck!

Oops... there I go again, getting so deep into my identification as a human to participate on this site, that I forgot I'm really about 60,000,000 years old and 400' tall.

Age, race, height, weight doesn't matter as long as our level of crazy match :D
